# Scalp Care Under Hair Extensions

Quick answer: Keep the scalp healthy under extensions by massaging gently between the bonds each time you wash, rinsing well so no shampoo or product builds up around the capsules, and drying the roots fully afterwards. A clean, dry, well-cared-for scalp is what keeps the whole set feeling comfortable and the roots healthy through the months you wear it. Book on WhatsApp .

## How do I clean between the bonds?

The scalp still needs proper cleansing with extensions in, just as it did before. When you wash, work a sulphate-free shampoo gently between the bonds with the pads of your fingertips, not your nails, and take your time over the whole head. This clears away the oil, sweat and product that would otherwise build up around the capsules and leave the roots feeling heavy.

## Why keep the scalp dry?

A damp scalp under a full head of hair can get itchy. Dry the roots fully after washing and avoid going to bed with a wet scalp. In Dubai's heat, an occasional light rinse keeps the roots fresh between washes.

## What problems should I watch for?

Some tightness in the first day or two is completely normal as your scalp settles around the new bonds. Ongoing itching, soreness or flaking is not normal, and usually means the bonds may be sitting too tight or the scalp needs proper attention. Contact the master if any of that continues, rather than waiting it out or pulling at the bonds yourself.

A micro capsule is a small keratin bond of about 0.4 to 0.5 grams for normal to thick hair, giving natural volume and staying hidden under the top layers.

### What does real hair extension work in Dubai look like?

Real clients in my studio, not stock photos: every frame is taken right after the fitting, with no retouching of volume. Swipe through results on Premium Slavic hair with invisible bonds and look at the hairline and the parting, where cheap extensions give themselves away first.

### How do the bonds look and move up close?

Short vertical clips of the process and real results, so you can see how the bonds look and move before you book. The videos play on tap and have no sound, and the technique they show is the same work you will get in the chair at The H Hotel.

A premium result is not about big words but the master's hand and the hair quality. The client sees the rest in the mirror herself.
